Feature request: Groups

[JustinAiken]

Problem Statement Differing investments - larger long-term crypto holdings vs day-traded weed stocks are all grouped and sorted together

Proposed Solution

• Each lot (or watched stock) can be assigned to a group
• Each group gets their own summary
• Groups are sorted as defined in config file

Alternatives A tabbed view as described in #94 might also be nice

I think the temporary workaround for this problem is creating multiple config files and run ticker with --config command. ex: ticker --config myportfolio1.yml ticker --config myportfolio2.yml ticker --config myportfolio3.yml

This would be a nice feature to have in the config we could possibly add a new option for each ticker to define the association to various groups, if this configuration is missing then they would be grouped under a "Default" group section.

watchlist:
  - ticker: NET
    group: B
  - ticker: TEAM
    group: B
  - ticker: ESTC
     group: A
  - ticker: BTC-USD

In the UI I think the tab idea would look the best given the current UI layout to represent the groups.

I love feature requests - costs nothing to wish :-)

1. Change tabs, would naturally use the left and right arrows - but you already use bubbletea - which has mouse support, which I think would be good if you went down tabs route
2. Auto cycling of tabs would also be good on a timer
3. for rendering tabs - The bubbletea authors also make https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss

@Aqualie I like your idea, but that change will bring breaking changes. How do you think of this way, symbol and groups are separated by colons.

watchlist:
  - NET:B,A
  - TEAM:B
  - ESTC:A
  - BTC-USD
